Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of genetic engineering, in particular to a human acidic fibroblast growth factor fusion protein and its coding gene and application. Background technique
[0002] Human fibroblast growth factor belongs to a large protein family, at least 23 members have been discovered so far. Among them, acidic fibroblast growth factor (aFGF) was first isolated from bovine brain by Thomas et al. in 1984. Because its isoelectric point is 5-7, it is acidic, so it is named .
[0003] Human acidic fibroblast growth factor (haFGF) is mainly distributed in the kidney and brain tissue. It is a cytoplasmic protein that lacks an N-terminal signal peptide structure. It acts on surrounding cells mainly through autocrine and paracrine. . The haFGF polypeptide consists of 154 amino acid residues and has a molecular weight of about 16kDa. It is a complete β-sheet protein without disulfide bonds, and its secondary structure is a clover structure...
